Mumbai: A thief, who broke into a Mumbai house with intentions of a robbery, stole a kiss from the owner after he didn’t find any valuables. The accused, who made the robbery attempt in a flat in Mumbai’s Malad, committed this act after he failed to find any valuables.

According to reports, the thief held a 38-year-old woman hostage in the house and threatened her to handover all the valuables including money, phones, jewellery among others.

However, the lady owner said she didn’t have any of them. Before leaving the house, he stole a kiss from the woman. The woman later registered a complaint with the police.
